Recent Projects
Lejog 2026
In September 2026, Matt and 2 friends cycled from Lands End to John O-Groats to raise money and football boots to send to Uganda!
They cycled for almost 2 weeks in all weathers and met lots of wonderful people along the way.
In total, Matt and the team raised almost £6K!
Here is a customer dropping off boots for Lejog!
In Store!
Here are some customers who came into store looking to help a vulnerable family moving into a new home for a fresh start. We donated them lots of essentials as well as home goods to make a house a home and help them set up.
Just a couple of the wonderful doggies that come and visit us!
We had a wonderful surprise being visited by the leader of Caerwent RFC who came in with a large bag of football boots for Lejog. We also received a framed photo of the football team wearing their new kit sponsored by Upcycle!
This is Luke and Matt, delivery drivers for Monmouthshire Upcycle, donating a bench to Chepstow community Hospital after the local community decided where to donate to. The bench was gratefully received and is loved as a quite spot by staff and visitors.
